Working with children and adolescents brings up various treatment needs and goals in therapy. Through CBT, DBT, MBSR, PCIT, mentalization based therapeutic strategies and educational resources, role-playing, arts and play therapy as well as self-help worksheets, young clients will be able to develop appropriate expressive skills to share their wants and needs. Parents can collaborate in treatment by proactively learning parenting skills to best engage with their children and adolescents by becoming more responsive in establishing and maintaining secure attachment through consistently building on healthy, nurturing relationships.
Treatment focus will also include cognitive, behavioral, social, spiritual and emotional skills necessary for improvement in relationships with parents and siblings at home and in academic performance at schools. I also provide treatment for medical coping including those with life-threatening illnesses, coping with the pandemic and complicated grief.
Actively learning to change dysfunctional routines, behaviors, thoughts & feelings as well as relational dynamics is the first step to developing necessary skills within healthy family and child development contexts. A safe, nurturing, healthy family environment is possible. I hope to help children, adolescents and families achieve this together.
